Hi @jackson,

I see.. Can you check your router settings, if client/AP isolation is enabled?
This setting prevents direct communication between connected devices/computers.

Actually the funny thing is, my table can connect to another PC but this one can’t. It so weird.

About the other PC, is it connected in the same network as your primary PC?

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @jackson,
Thanks for the feedback.
Please try to change your Network Profile to Private and check if you can discover now.

Hi @qowmq,
Thank you very much for sending the dxdiag.

1. Please send us the debug logs for the app crash using DebugView. Just follow the steps below:
– download DebugView app here: https://download.sysinternals.com/files/DebugView.zip
– extract the files from the zipped folder
– run the Dbgview.exe as Administrator
– make sure to only check the Capture -> Capture Win32 and Capture Events
– while DebugView is open, please run the spacedesk Windows 10 Viewer app and try to recreate the app crash issue
– you should find some “SA [xxxx:xxxx] …” traces in the DebugView, please save the logs and send it to us

2. Please also try with spacedesk Windows 7 Viewer app (desktop version 0.9.39) and check if you get the same app crash issue.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @freakymood,
Could you please check/try the following:
– After installing the KB3063858 update, did you reboot your PC?
– check if you can find qwave.dll in C:\Windows\System32 directory
– run “services.msc” and find Quality Windows Audio Video Experience and check if the status is “Started”
– If qwave.dll is missing or corrupted, please try to repair it. Just run Command Prompt as administrator, then type “sfc /scannow” and hit “ENTER”.
– Please also check if there’s a pending Windows Update on your machine, then try to update it.

By the way, we moved your post to a separate topic.

Hi @fullychess,

Thanks for sending the file.
Is spacedesk is working now on your side? no more disconnect issue?

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @tableter,
I see.. so the installation worked? no more error message?

As for the Panther Tab, make sure the Windows 10 tablet meets the system requirements before installing spacedesk.
You can check the system requirements for spacedesk in our user manual https://forum.spacedesk.netuser-manual/.

Hi @yarni,
Thank you very much for the feedback.
We are currently analyzing the logs and trying to reproduce the issue on our side, but so far it’s not successful.
We will get back to you as soon as we have news or new version for you to test.

[spacedesk Lea]

After the script has started and the file name has been entered
comes the WIndows Installer window.
If you then press any key, the prompt closes and nothing happens. The log files are not there either.

Once you enter the msi file name, the script will launch the spacedesk windows installer.
You can now close the command prompt window, then proceed with the installer window by clicking “Next” and so on until the error message show up.
While msi installer is running, spacedeskmsi_trace.txt should be generated.

Hi @matmat077,

You can just run the “ncpa.cpl” to open the Network Connections window.
To set the network adapter priority, just right click the first Remote NDIS adapter -> Properties, click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) -> Properties -> Advanced, uncheck the “Automatic metric” and set the value to any value(e.g. 3), then click OK to finish it.
Then do the same thing with the other Remote NDIS adapter and make sure it has higher metric value (e.g. 7).

Hi @yarni,

Thank you very much for sending the diagnostic logs.
Based on the logs, you have Nvidia ShadowPlay/In-game Overlay enabled.
Please disable it in Nvidia GeForce Experience settings (then restart the spacedeksService) before connecting a spacedesk viewer and check if you still have the issue.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @jmgrobao,
Thanks for the feedback.

Can you quickly try to disable your Avast and check if spacedesk viewer can discover the server?

By the way, what is your current network profile on your primary machine? Private or Public?
You can check it via Windows Settings -> Network & Internet -> Properties.

Are you connecting to your Home/Office Wifi network? Or is it a public WiFi?
If it’s a home/office wifi network, could you please check if your WiFi router’s setting has network isolation enabled?
This setting prevents direct communication between connected devices, so you have to reconfigure your router and disable it.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @yarni,

Thank you very much for reporting these issues.

1. For the ON-OFF button, could you please try to run services.msc, then find spacedeskService and try to stop-start it (maybe a few times) and check if it’s also hanging.

2. For the disconnection problem, could you please send us the diagnostic logs.
Please follow the steps below:
– Open spacedesk Console window -> Diagnostics

Run the “MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab”, select Installing.
After that, please try again with the spacedesk driver installer.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @motto5476,

Ah ok, my mistake. Product code is not needed if you selected “Not Listed”. Just press Installing -> Next -> Not Listed -> View detailed Information, then check if there’s a potential issue/s detected.
Then try again with spacedesk installer.

By the way, can you answer some of our questions here:
1. Is this the first time you install spacedesk? Or you have previous version before?
2. Are you using an Administrator user account?
3. Were you able to install other msi installer aside from sppacedesk?
Can you please also try some workarounds suggested here: https://thegeekpage.com/installation-ended-prematurely/

[spacedesk Lea]

Yes, the PC is the master.
On the other hand, if the auto-rotation in the viewer side is enabled, the viewer app will send it’s current display orientation back to server so the PC/server will acknowledge it and rotate it’s display screen accordingly (will be reflected in the Windows Display Settings).

In your case, if it’s in the mirror mode and the viewer rotates, it will send it’s orientation (e.g. Portrait mode) to the server and it will be rotated in the Windows display settings then spacedesk will send it’s rotated screen image back to the viewer.

[spacedesk Lea]

Run the “MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab”, select Installing.
If “spacedesk Windows DRIVER” is not on the program list, just select “Not Listed” then paste the product code of spacedesk_driver_Win_10_64_v1040_BETA.msi here: {A7749853-C2A7-4313-B46F-11AECF983D62}

Hi @abossart,

It’s one way or the other.
If you don’t want your primary monitor to rotate (if it’s in mirror mode), we can only suggest you to disable the auto rotation in viewer settings.
This is the current behavior, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @abossart,
We have received the video file, thank you!

Based on the video, this is the expected behavior when you mirror your primary display and secondary display.
If auto-rotation is enabled, then it will auto rotate the primary display once you rotate your secondary display because it is in mirror/duplicated mode.

If you don’t want the primary display to rotate, then you just disable the auto rotation.

Hi @abossart,

2. Can you please try the following:
– open spacedesk Driver COnsole -> Control -> Clear Windows Display Settings
– switch OFF the auto-rotation in the viewer settings before connecting

3. spacedesk Server is always ON and set to auto-start (at system boot) by default (unless you manually switch OFF the spacedesk status and uncheck the auto-start check box in the spacedesk Driver Console configuration).

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @borsentesi12gmail-com,

Wired connection via HDMI cable is not possible.

To improve the performance, you can try any of these connection type (whatever is applicable in your setup):
– WiFi Direct/Wifi Hotspot (for Android/iOS/Windows client device)
– USB Tethering (for Android/iOS client device)
– Network Cable / crossover ethernet (for Windows client machine)
– Android Debug Bridge Cable (for Android client device)

For details, please check Performance tuning -> Network Bandwidth chapter in the user manual https://forum.spacedesk.netuser-manual/.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @abossart,

1. Are you sure that you cannot move the cursor to your secondary display?
Did you check the display position (via display settings window) if you are moving the cursor/window in the correct direction?
Maybe your second display is on the other side of your primary display?

2. If auto rotation is ON and spacedesk display is set as Desktop Duplication/Mirror, once you rotate your secondary display it will also automatically rotate your primary display.
Make sure that you rotate your iPad device in landscape orientation.
Can you maybe send us a picture or short video of your spacedesk setup showing the rotation issue?

3. You can search and access the “spacedesk Driver Console” via Windows start menu in case automatic start is disabled.

Make sure that it’s ON, then try to rotate the secondary display manually via display setting -> Orientation mode in your primary machine.
FYI: Current spacedesk Windows Viewer (7/10) does not support auto rotation yet.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @felipes1603,

1/4/5. We are not actually sure if USB tethering speed will depend on what type of cable and port you are using.
Based on our observation on our side, spacedesk performance (in USB tethering connection) is the same regardless of USB cable type and port.
We also don’t know if the network speed can be increased, we always get 425 Mbps speed on our side.
And even if we manage to increase the speed, spacedesk only supports 30-60 fps fixed in the settings.

2. This seems to be a Windows behavior.
There are some suggestions here that you might want to try:
https://superuser.com/questions/729305/prevent-windows-from-creating-new-network-names-when-tethering-with-android

3. It’s not yet finalized, but the Viewer Pro version will probably include some performance improvement/feature e.g. hardware accelerated image encoding, native USB cable connection support.

Hi @gopuri,
In a multiple viewer setup, touchscreen feature is only supported in one viewer app and the others will only get the single input mouse touch.

Hi @libo,

Thanks for sending the memory dump file.
Based on our analysis, the problem seems to be the USB driver used by the mobile phone for USB Tethering (Remote NDIS).
This is actually a known BSOD issue in spacedesk (with USB tethering connection), please check Troubleshooting -> Critical Errors -> Windows 10 Crash with BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) https://forum.spacedesk.netuser-manual/#item_483.

Can you check if there is maybe a newer version of this mobile phone USB driver (via Windows Update) and try to update?
